In Happy Days season 4 episode 13, titled "Time Capsule", the students at Jefferson High School are preparing for their school's 25th anniversary celebration. As part of the festivities, they decide to create a time capsule to be opened at the school's 50th anniversary.

Meanwhile, Fonzie is struggling with something that he wants to put in the time capsule. He confides in Mr. C about a letter that his father wrote to him before he died. The letter contains information about his family that Fonzie has never known before, and he is torn about whether or not to share it with the world through the time capsule.

As Richie and Potsie finish up the time capsule, they realize that Fonzie has not contributed anything yet. They confront him about it, and he finally tells them about the letter. They urge him to share it, but Fonzie is hesitant. He is not sure if he's ready to face the truth that the letter may reveal about his family.

In the end, Fonzie decides to put the letter in the time capsule without reading it. He realizes that his father wrote it for him, and he does not want to share it with the rest of the world. He wants to keep it as a personal reminder of his father and the love they shared.
